hello yellow welcome to talk like the until we shall see i'll be another very my guest on the program is more how much mohammed is out there. a historical worldwide sound like climate change was recently held in. secret control over global warming nearly two hundred countries agreed to extend the kyoto protocol to reduce greenhouse gases in the event took place in qatar as i said which is in the middle east though the region is not really associated with environmental protection but

isn't it unfair what other regions problems and in fact on our planet will discuss it with a senior official of one of the biggest middle eastern countries vice president al gore you are more how much about mohamed is out there who is also head of the environmental protection often hasn't. when it comes to greenhouse gas polluters the general public might think of established industrial giants and the developing economies as the worst culprits however iran is in the top five carbon emitters at the recent climate change conference to qatar the kyoto protocol was extended to be carbon emitters as the united states russia and china chose to opt out rein in why is president muslim ideas of this that he's country championed the extension backed by dozens of other nations.

not to follow mr mohammad is a day and welcome to the show but i'm going to be first off as we've just heard a few days ago qatar hosted koppel eighteen the. eighteen's conference of the parties of the un framework convention on climate change the conference made a decision to extend the kyoto protocol after the conference you said that this became possible largely thanks to the efforts of iran but what was the problem what was so difficult to work out a compromise in the name of god and the compassionate the merciful. i'm also very happy to see you and i'm happy that i can address your audience through your show. that what. this conference was a continuation of two earlier conferences in a mexico and in copenhagen. and the point is developed countries and

there are about forty of them are you should honor their commitments to developing countries. we had to make sure that they don't exceed current levels of greenhouse gas emissions and at the same time that they make necessary technology if they were able to developing countries. that are you can help developing countries in these matters and they should also provide financial assistance to help developing countries fight pollution and that's why these let me create probably cover around in g seventy seven and china did their best to explain their position to those countries of course there was some progress made first we were able to extend the kyoto protocol for another eight years also we emphasized the need to deliver a proper technology to developing countries that were developed countries agreed but said developing countries should buy this technology. so the shoe that hasn't

been resolved is that of funds for purchasing this equipment this shows that there is still a big gap between developed and developing nations for the libyan. is that how it was if it was that it was. is a short slow your words seem to indicate that western countries were reluctant to extend the kyoto protocol but as far as we know environmentalist are particularly strong in the west how do you explain this contradiction could it be that this is just a continuation of the conflict between western europe and america on the one hand and iran on the other which is now being transferred to the area of climate change as well not the words is it below political matter i don't think it is a political matter i think it is a matter of disagreement and the lack of understanding between g seventy seven countries in china on the one hand and western or developed countries on the other

there are three countries that have distanced themselves away from the kyoto protocol russia japan and south korea but the remaining one hundred twenty countries all agree mung themselves but this issue has nothing to do whatsoever with the disagreement that exists between iran and the west we think that developed countries have theel day to honor their commitments they produce more greenhouse gas emissions

thanks. countries like china or south korea or australia or germany or canada i mean much more greenhouse gas then iran lets them get back to the program to reduce hydrocarbon consumption for example iran has decided to move from using gasoline and diesel fuel to natural gas we now have

a million and a half he calls running on natural gas many power plants are about to start using natural gas for fuel. and we have also increased use of solar power and wind power. i mean your stories have introduced new technologies to reduce their emissions. so not only controls. but even reduces them it's law sure that but i want to see that america's position on greenhouse gas emissions is wrong americans are only five percent of the world's population but the us emits about twenty five percent of the world's greenhouse gas we know that from day one the u.s. refused to join the kyoto protocol john and they have no buying obligations. at the same time africa has a population of

a billion people and yet it generates less than one tenth of the emissions america generates so we have a very unfair situation where you have the united states on the one hand and the whole continent of africa on the other. what the way you see it was a missile if you will so when you you have another quote here again from a german source the spigot magazine reported recently that iran may spill all oil in the persian gulf in response to sanctions introduced by the west is it true they really have such plans because we remember how in one thousand nine hundred ninety one saddam hussein spilled oil during operation desert storm but that didn't help him i don't actually see how an oil spill can help you get those sanctions lifted. you don't call them shiny as regards the environment help the persian gulf iran's said it used commandable money. when iraq attacked us and we had eight

years of war we didn't cause any pollution in the persian gulf. and actually when saddam hussein attacked kuwait and set all the oil wells on fire there it where was first to help and put the fire out. we have a lot of seaports and the persian gulf provides sixty percent of the world's hydrocarbons . eight countries around the persian gulf and yet it was iran who set up this standard for fighting pollution in the region. at if we have set up a monitoring system to enforce the standard you know all of the gulf countries. we need to preserve the eco system of the persian gulf and iran plays the leading role

in these efforts that. next year on march third through sixth year rana will hostin environmental forum on key shiloh and. where eight gulf nations will discuss these standards. and want to convince you know rob me also in addition to these eight nations various international organizations will be represented there. in other words there is no threat of an oil spill in the persian gulf and you don't confirm that iran considers such a step. now not only we deny that we regard this as an element of psychological war against iran. machete q such things

simply can't all be done. so how much. is that the vice president. spotlight will be back shortly right after the break so stay with us. i think i'm i'm. i'm .

that. welcome back to the spotlight i'm al green avent just a reminder that my guest on this show is more how much the that the vice president of iran. mr muhammad is are there since you've mentioned ideological warfare iran has long been involved in a war of words with the west especially the united states many people say that a military operation against iran is quite possible. as one of iran's top leaders do you think this is a real possibility. do people in your country live in a constant fear of war or do people think it is unlikely. for the

past thirty three years ever since these lamb equiv aleutian the west and the u.s. in particular has been plotting against iran and people in our country are aware of that. but at the same time people go on with their lives and they don't worry about what the united states me do. this does not mean that the united states does not want war with iran what i'm saying is that they won't gain anything by this war and such a war is unlikely. so we're not afraid of the u.s. or any other country in our message to those countries is that our friendship and not a message of war. talk only a foolish person can expect to impose he's eighty years with guns but such an approach makes no sense at all. you say your message is

a message of friendship and you do look like a very peaceful person but i think you will agree that some of the sayings that president obama mean jaja says about washington can hardly be described as friendly do you agree. if you look at what mr ahmadinejad he will see that he's approach is actually that of peace and friendship he ran is an anshan nation with history that spans thousands of years and in its long history iran has never attacked any other country but when attacked by others and fought well but iran has never been prone to violence and remember aspired to dominate the world so it is all just psychological war against iran and especially against president ahmadinejad. and they seek to demin eyes iran. let me give you an example if

a child refuses to be parents me till their child that a monster will come and eat them but they say this just to intimidate the child in reality there is no monster western countries and especially the united states seek to diminish in order to intimidate other countries and make them by their weapons this is merely propaganda. the scary thing about the case. comes under attack everybody understands that iran will years old means available to protect itself against aggression so if there is a military conflict. can the iranian nuclear program be adjusted to be used for military purposes. when there was a conflict between iran and saddam hussein many countries supported in intelligence services and many countries supported him and of course international media all

worked for saddam hussein and supported him certain arab nations in our region made unlimited financial resources available to saddam hussein and he also received military hardware from the u.s. and other countries what this tells us is that when people want to defend their homeland no matter how much financial and military aid their opponents may receive they will still prevail that's why i doubt that somebody may repeat such a stupid mistake with respect to iran i really hope this doesn't happen and i don't think this may happen but i'd like to say that iran is much better equipped to do you know order to protect itself in other words we have all kinds of weapons to protect our country as for nuclear weapons we don't have nuclear weapons and we don't seek to have nuclear weapons we don't need nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons are not part of our really just defense doctrine but we have a lot of strong patriotic young men who are ready to defend our country they don't

need nuclear weapons. that. this is very good indeed and our audience is happy to hear that i'm sure you another was even if there is war and iran is in danger of suffering a major defeat and you have nuclear technology you will not use it to produce nuclear weapons is this what you are saying. but i know that will not sell or has the same net. team as the four that we don't have nuclear weapons in even if we had them we wouldn't use them but we have often raised the disarmament issue in the un and other international organizations we want israel so aggressive regime to disarm and we want their stockpiles to be destroyed. we support the idea of a nuclear disarmament and this means that we don't seek nuclear weapons ourselves i

feel certain is officially israel does not have nuclear weapons but many people around the world have no doubt that in reality israel has nuclear weapons you do seem to think that israel has nuclear weapons ready to be used and you have no doubt about that right. well if he's a real does not have nuclear weapons why does he's a really refused to allow international organizations to carry out an inspection of their facilities why do they refused to sign international treaties. why do they refuse to honor their commitments even though let's go back to environment protection which is your primary area of responsibility that there is a lake in iran called lake mia it has lost sixty percent of its water it seems to us as outsiders that this might result in a lot scale disaster is it possible to save this lake we have prepared

a detailed program to restore a lake or me. lake syria is five thousand square kilometers but it has strong to twenty seven hundred square kilometers now because of higher temperatures and evaporation and a reduced inflow from reverse. we have twenty four projects to restore the level of water in the lake or me and they are all already working. we have diverted water and from three other sources to this lake this is about a billion cubic meters of water boarded to lake or me. also we use new more efficient irrigation technology is to make sure that water from nineteen rivers goes into the lake and not somewhere else this will provide another billion cubic meters of water for the lake and we also use other methods like cloud seeding to increase rainfall actually this is one of the projects where iran and russia worked

together so all these measures will help us save lake or. press you both thank you thank you very much for being with us and just to remind you that my guest today was my comrade mohamed does that day vice president of iraq and that's it for now the all of us here if you want to have your say in spotlight just don't feel spun and we'll be back with more for some comments on what really long in and out until then stay on our team until you can. thank you thank you might have a look at. it
